Hashketball

Instructions

Great news! You're going to an NBA game! The only catch is that you've been volunteered to keep stats at the game.

Using Nested Hashes, define a game, with two teams, their players, and the players stats:

• The game has two teams
• A team has:
  • name
  • colors (x2)
• Each player should have a:
  • name
  • jersey_number
  • shoe_size
• Each player should have the following stats:
  • points
  • rebounds
  • assists
  • steals
  • blocks
  • slam_dunks

Use the following seed data to structure your game hash as suggested above. When designing your nested hash structure think about how one might want to access the data. Remember to run learn to see what the tests expect.

• Home Team = Brooklyn Nets, Colors = Black, White
• Away Team = Charlotte Hornets, Colors = Turquoise, Purple

	Jeff Adrien	Bismak Biyombo	DeSagna Diop	Ben Gordon	Brendan Haywood
Team	Charlotte Hornets	Charlotte Hornets	Charlotte Hornets	Charlet Hornets	Charlotte Hornets
Number	4	0	2	8	33
Shoe	18	16	14	15	15
Points	10	12	24	33	6
Rebounds	1	4	12	3	12
Assists	1	7	12	2	12
Steals	2	7	4	1	22
Blocks	7	15	5	1	5
Slam Dunks	2	10	5	0	12

	Alan Anderson	Reggie Evans	Brook Lopez	Mason Plumlee	Jason Terry
Team	Brooklyn Nets	Brooklyn Nets	Brooklyn Nets	Brooklyn Nets	Brooklyn Nets
Number	0	30	11	1	31
Shoe	16	14	17	19	15
Points	22	12	17	26	19
Rebounds	12	12	19	12	2
Assists	12	12	10	6	2
Steals	3	12	3	3	4
Blocks	1	12	1	8	11
Slam Dunks	1	7	15	5	1

Using the power of Ruby, and the hashes you created, write methods to complete the following:

1. Returns your game hash. Call the method game_hash.

2. Return the number of points scored for any player, given that player's name as a string. Call the method num_points_scored.

3. Return the shoe size for any player, given that player's name. Call the method shoe_size.

4. Return both colors for any team, given the team name. Call the method team_colors.

5. Return both teams names, given the game_hash. Call the method team_names. Note: Since you have a method game_hash that returns your hash, there is no need to pass it in as an argument! You can just call it from within your team_names method.

6. Return all the player numbers for a team, given a team name. Call the method player_numbers.

7. Return all the stats for a player, given a player's name. The stats should be returned as a hash, which each stat name as a key and the corresponding stat as a value. Call the method player_stats. eg:

   player_stats("Alan Anderson")
   => { :number => 0,
        :shoe => 16,
        :points => 22,
        :rebounds => 12,
        :assists => 12,
        :steals => 3,
        :blocks => 1,
        :slam_dunks => 1
      }

8. Return the number of rebounds for the player with the largest shoe size. Call the method big_shoe_rebounds.

Bonus Questions:

Define methods to return the answer to the following questions:

1. Which player has the most points? Call the method most_points_scored.

2. Which team has the most points? Call the method winning_team.

3. Which player has the longest name? Call the method player_with_longest_name.

Super Bonus:

1. Write a method that returns true if the player with the longest name had the most steals. Call the method long_name_steals_a_ton?.
